How to compare dates in c#

If you have your dates in DateTime variables, they don’t have a format.

You can use the Date property to return a DateTime value with the time portion set to midnight. So, if you have:

DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Parse("07/12/2011");
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.Now;

if(dt1.Date > dt2.Date)
{
     //It's a later date
}
else
{
     //It's an earlier or equal date
}
